Vastly improved app handling in iPhone/Touch 2.1
We’re still a few days away from the 2.1 update for the iPhone, but it was released for the iPod Touch tonight. Â A few nice tidbits, which should apply to the iPhone update when it comes out:
Â
- The whole system feels much faster.
- Playlists now show the album/artist in addition to the song title (see screenshot to the right).
- The “shake to shuffle” that was introduced for the Nano is not included.
- Genius playlists are in, as long as you have enabled them in iTunes.
- Apps install much faster — “almost like they do in the Apple adverts”.
- Updated apps keep their same location. Â Yes! Â This has been driving me nuts.
That’s about it. Â Many of the iPhone updates are phone specfic (dropped calls, 3G connection, etc), so we’ll see about those on Friday. Â It’s sounding good so far, though!
